Berli (600x376).jpg
I pass a house that has had a Berli sitting outside for a long time. It has moved from a garden on one side of the road to the other! I don't know anything about the car or even if it's for sale but I could knock on doors if interested.
The car is located in Bishopton just outside Glasgow.Stumbling around in the dark

Re: Wanted roadster or berli
Another one not known in the archive ! Love the fuel filler cut out, not seen one like that before.
Pretty please more pics and details of chassis number for our records
Send me a PM if you'd rather keep it private, or my email address is in Pitstop
Thanks in anticipation

Re: Wanted roadster or berli
Hi Fellow Marliners.
I very almost had a trouble free trip back from this weekends Suffolk meet in my Roadster , where I meet a great bunch of fellow Marliners.
Again thanks Geoff and Jan for arranging this
I have noticed that the Marina rear axle breather had broken off (it was still sitting on the axle).
The part has snapped off at the white threaded plastic part , I still have the black rubber cap.
I am aware that its the same as an MGB & Dolomite part number 21H6060.
I suspect that the handbrake outer cable somehow got caught around it and when I pulled the handbrake and snapped it off.
The part looks like :

I wondered if :
1) Has anyone else has encountered this breakage problem whilst using the Marina rear axle?
2) If the Landrover series 2/3 brass breather valve is the same thread size, as it's a lot stronger?
It looks like:
